Amid the Israeli genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza, which has claimed more than 40,500 lives so far, including over 16,500 children, survivors are making their presence felt through creative mediums.
A series of drawings by children in the besieged Palestinian territory who have so far survived the bombings point to the scale and magnitude of the tragedy that has befallen Palestinians.
Shared by the Médecins Sans Frontières, also known as Doctors Without Borders, the drawings were made by Palestinian girls who are receiving mental health counseling at a clinic in al-Mawasi.
Al-Mawasi is a coastal town in the southern Gaza Strip, west of Khan Yunis city. Despite being designated as a so-called “safe zone” by the Israeli regime, the town has been relentlessly bombed by the regime.
Drawings sketched by these children speak volumes of how people in Gaza have been traumatized by 11 months of genocidal war, which has obliterated every trace of humanity in the blockaded territory.
The Israeli regime has been indiscriminately dropping bombs supplied by the United States on densely populated residential areas of Gaza, killing innocent civilians in daily massacres.
Recently released data from the health ministry in Gaza reveals that the Israeli regime has killed at least 115 infants born during what is widely described as the "bloodiest" war of the 21st century.
A total of 3,524 massacres have been committed by the occupation forces in the past 326 days, with thousands of people still trapped under the rubble and unaccounted for.
The percentage of child and women victims of the war is 69, according to the Palestinian health ministry. The number of children who have lost one of their parents in the genocidal war is 17,000.
Last month, UN experts sounded the alarm about the Palestinian children in the besieged territory losing their lives due to the Israeli regime's deliberate “starvation campaign.”
In a separate report, the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees in June said an average of 10 children per day are losing one or both legs due to Israeli savagery in the Gaza Strip.
